Introduction
Healthy people, 2020 is a program based in the United States and developed by the government. It was launched in 2010 with a set of ambitious, yet achievable, 10-year agenda for improving the country’s health. This program is a product of integrated complex processes that outlines the input from a different group of people and companies. Healthy people, 2020 program is founded on the science-based ten-year national objective for advancing the health of all Americans. For the past many years, this program has been able to develop, monitor, and benchmark the progress over time so as to promote partnerships across societies and sectors, strengthening people toward establishing sound health decisions as well as measuring the effect of control actions. The program vision is to have the community in which all individuals live healthy lives.
Implementation of Health People 2020 Objectives
The mission of healthy people 2020 program is to attempt to recognize countrywide health improvement priorities. Not only has the program enhanced public responsiveness and understanding of the contributing factors of health, illness, and disability as well as prospects for development, but also providing practical goals and objectives that are employed at the countrywide, public, and local levels. Additionally, the program strives to integrate various organizations to take actions to heighten regulations plus advance practices that are motivated by the best available proof and knowledge. Healthy people 2020 as well as involved in recognizing vital research, assessment, and information gathering require of our society to accomplish the set objectives (healthy people.gov).
The primary objective of this program is to promote health and well-being of all people while decreasing the health care charges and increasing the life expectancy of all citizens. The objective captures more in health care system especially encouraging people to exercise thirty minutes daily which is very important in promoting a healthy lifestyle. Also seeking to encourage various organizations of society to take appropriate measures to reinforce rules and enhance implementations that are driven by the top available evidence and knowledge (Nies and McEwen, 2015).
The focus of the program to provide high-quality, longer lives free of avoidable illness, disability, damage, and untimely death, attain health quality, eradicate disparities, and enhance the health of all groups, build social and physical environments that promote good health for all. These goals are attainable when there is appropriate mechanism set into place to integrate both the government and people. Moreover, the healthy people 2020 program has improved the DATA2010 system, a database system that files all the monitored and tracked reports for the measurable objectives. The database system allows having timely, accurate, accessible information which brings a significant role to healthy people process and to evaluate and execute healthy people 2010 objectives and goals (healthy people.gov).
Concerning health disparities, health people 2020 set an objective to eradicate health inequalities recognized by ethic and race, sex, education, income, demographics setting, disability status, or sexual orientation. This objective eclipsed in ambition the healthy people 2020 objective of minimizing inequalities for the past years; health inequalities have shown a positive trend increase (healthy people.gov). A notable accomplishment, however, is the evolution of more educational methods as well as processes to measure inequalities. Methodology advancement will lead to improved actions in bridging the gaps of good health.
Appropriate interventions of the professional caregiver (nurses)
Nurses as medical professional health providers follow process to give care to the patients. This comprises of creating a plan and setting objectives for the patient. According to (Bulechek et al., 2013), nursing interventions are the authentic therapies and practices that are conducted to assist the patient to achieve the set goals that should be completed within a specific time. The nurse employs his or her skills, experience, and critical thinking skills to plan a useful intervention that suits the patients. Different responses are classified according to the program that fit the entire process of care for the patient. For example, promoting bowel movement, and teaching the patient the side effects of new medications. Intervention is provided on the basis of psychological needs, multifaceted mental needs, behavioral functioning, enhancing safety, taking care of the family needs using the designed health system. Nurses care for the total patient, so there could be a plan of interventions regarding every area of the patient’s life.
Nursing Interventions Classification comprises of many interventions. They are grouped into seven significant domains. First, the nurse must be a good listener. This intervention is done to every patient. Active listening is involved in both psychological and behavioral health management as it is essential to do with every patient and their support system. The intervention creates trust and rapport.
Second intervention is preventing falls. In a health care system, some patients are at a higher risk than others, although throughout the shift it’s essential to do what you can to avert the patient from hitting the deck (Bulechek et al., 2013).
Control pain as an intervention helps the nurse to develop plans such as dimming the light, time pain prescriptions before activity, relocate patients, give pillow support, knowing when to use medication as well as decreasing stimuli.
Cluster care is an intervention that programs patient’s activities as well as consolidating movements in the room, more gets done at once and thus takes less time.
Turning after every two hours to control the development of skin issues to patients is effective to prevent rise of other diseases
Promoting adequate oral intake as an intervention for nurses to decrease and discontinue the patient’s IV fluids. The patients with stable fluid volumes have faster healing.
Lastly, nurses must promote good self-care mainly by doing the things the patients cannot do. Patients who are attended well by nurses recover fast and start doing things they could not do, and it facilitates their care plan (Bulechek et al., 2013).
